CO-STAR: Rabbi Aaron Spiegel on “Why Synagogues Need to Increase their Use of Technology”
S3K’s new Board chair (mazal tov!), Rabbi Aaron Spiegel:
We talk about wanting to be more welcoming, particularly of young people. But our actions say that what we really want are young people who are willing to learn, participate in worship, and be part of our community, in the same way their parents and grandparents did. Statistics say this isn"t working. Technology is a tool.The church world calls it a tool for ministry. Synagogues need to start thinking of technology as a tool for connecting with our congregants, and for them to connect with one another and the rest of k"lal Yisrael. And dare I say, in the most reverent Buberist terms, with God.
